Because I have no voice anymore what I say has no air. Did I strangle you? I killed you to let the wind in.

Chantal Neveu's A Spectacular Influence inclines bodies and worlds, registering their turn as atomized events. This semantic partition distributed into four parts that decline the body's perplexity before the real, inscribes an intimate range of material probabilities and improbabilities.

Written in spare lines and minimalist language, A Spectacular Influence attends to the sensation of motional inertia and celebrates the relational in the human collective experience.

In a graceful, rich translation by acclaimed author and translator Nathanaïl, A Spectacular Influence confirms Neveu's poetic range and extends the elegant musicality of her earlier choreographic poem, Coit.
